Hazrat Abu Ayyash Al-Zarqi narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever says these words in the morning: There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is powerful over everything—then that person will receive the reward of freeing a slave from among the descendants of Ismail, and ten good deeds will be written for him because of this action, and ten of his sins will be erased, and his ten ranks will be elevated, and that person will remain protected from Satan until the evening. And when he says these words in the evening, he will receive these benefits until the morning.

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates that when the morning would come, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say these words: O Allah! With Your will we have reached the morning and with Your will we have reached the evening, and by Your will we live, and by Your command we will die, and to You is our return.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Ubaid bin Umair narrates that one of the companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites these words ten times in the morning: There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, in His hand is all good, and He is powerful over everything—then ten ranks will be raised for him, and ten of his sins will be erased, and he will be free from hypocrisy until the evening. And if he recites these words in the evening, he will receive the same reward, and will be free from hypocrisy until the morning.

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates that Hazrat Ka’b said: I found written in the Torah that whoever says these words in the morning: O Allah! I seek refuge in Your name and with Your perfect words from the accursed Satan. O Allah! I seek refuge in Your name and with Your perfect words from Your punishment and from the evil of Your servants. O Allah! I ask You by Your name and with Your perfect words for every good that can be asked from You, and for every good that You grant, and for every good that You manifest, and for every good that You conceal. O Allah! I seek refuge in You, by Your name and with Your perfect words, from every evil that appears during the day. Then Satan will not come near that person, nor will anything unpleasant happen to him, and if he says these words in the evening, he will also receive these benefits, except that in the last sentence he should say: and from the evil of everything that the night has concealed.
